About Swami Vivekananda Airport
Swami Vivekananda Airport (IATA: RPR, ICAO: VERP), formerly known as Mana Airport, is a domestic airport serving the Raipur Metropolitan Region in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. The airport is located at Mana, about 15 km (9.3 mi) south-east of Raipur and 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Naya Raipur. On 24 January 2012, the airport was renamed after Hindu monk and philosopher Swami Vivekananda, who spent his youth in Raipur between 1877 and 1879. Between April 2024 and March 2025, it handled around 2.6 million passengers, and is the busiest airport by passenger traffic in the state, and the second-busiest in Central India after Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport in Indore.
